"Good... but not."
This reviewer purchased this item from Same Day Music.
Sound:
I use these cymbols with a Tama drum set, the sound is decent for not being super expensive cymbals. The hi-hats sound great when closed, but when they are open they sound like ****. The 16 inch crash it came with sounds great, but the 18 inch crash sounds too much like a gong, I dont really like it. The ride is nice, and the bell is good, but if you hit it too hard it also sounds really gong-ish and overpowers the other cymbols if you dont stop it. Other than those minor flaws, the sound is pretty nice.
Quality:
I wasn't very impressed with the quality of these cymbols, they look nice but I have already cracked the 16-inch cymbol, and I'm sure I haven't been hitting it any harder than a rock star would. And of course, once cymbols are cracked, they sound like ****. The crack was made slowly though, so there is probably no need to keep an emergancy cymbol, it doesn't break in 1 night.
Manufacturer Support:
Never used support, but I'm guessing it would be good since it is a popular brand.
Value:
Nice, but not worth the money for the sound and the quality.
The Wow Factor:
Looks nice and appealing for the price, but I'd rather want the Titanium cymbol set...
Overall:
I have had this product for about a year, and I have already cracked the 16-inch crash and I am not overly happy with the sound, a good entry level cymbol pack, but I would search for another product if you plan on getting past the beginner stage.
